Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[2.3.0] - 2024-12-06

Added

  • HTTP Remote Deployment: Single-user HTTP server for remote access
    • Stateless architecture for simple deployments
    • Bearer token authentication
    • Compatible with mcp-remote adapter for Claude Desktop
    • New HTTP mode scripts and deployment helper
  • Universal Node.js Compatibility: Automatic database adapter fallback system
    • Primary adapter: better-sqlite3 for optimal performance
    • Fallback adapter: sql.js (pure JavaScript) for version mismatches
    • Automatic detection and switching between adapters
    • No manual configuration required
  • Database adapter abstraction layer (src/database/database-adapter.ts)
  • Version detection and logging for troubleshooting
  • sql.js dependency for pure JavaScript SQLite implementation
  • HTTP server implementation (src/http-server.ts)
  • Deployment documentation and scripts

Changed

  • Updated all database operations to use the adapter interface
  • Removed Node.js v20.17.0 requirement - now works with ANY version
  • Simplified Claude Desktop setup - no wrapper scripts needed
  • Enhanced error messages for database initialization
  • Made all MCP tool handlers async for proper initialization

Fixed

  • NODE_MODULE_VERSION mismatch errors with Claude Desktop
  • Native module compilation issues in restricted environments
  • Compatibility issues when running with different Node.js versions
  • Database initialization race conditions in HTTP mode

Technical Details

  • Better-sqlite3: ~10-50x faster (when compatible)
  • sql.js: ~2-5x slower but universally compatible
  • Both adapters maintain identical API and functionality
  • Automatic persistence for sql.js with 100ms debounced saves
  • HTTP server uses StreamableHTTPServerTransport for MCP compatibility

[2.2.0] - 2024-12-06

Added

  • PropertyExtractor class for dedicated property/operation extraction
  • NodeRepository for proper JSON serialization/deserialization
  • Support for @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain package (59 AI nodes)
  • AI tool detection (35 tools with usableAsTool property)
  • Test suite for critical node validation
  • Comprehensive documentation (README, SETUP, CHANGELOG)
  • Example configuration files for Claude Desktop
  • Node.js v20.17.0 wrapper scripts for compatibility

Fixed

  • Empty properties/operations arrays (now 98.7% nodes have properties)
  • Versioned node detection (HTTPRequest, Code properly identified)
  • Documentation mapping for nodes with directory-based docs
  • Critical node validation (httpRequest, slack, code all pass)

Changed

  • Refactored parser to handle instance-level properties
  • Updated MCP server to use NodeRepository
  • Improved rebuild script with validation
  • Enhanced database schema with proper typing

Metrics

  • 458 total nodes (100% success rate)
  • 452 nodes with properties (98.7%)
  • 265 nodes with operations (57.9%)
  • 406 nodes with documentation (88.6%)
  • 35 AI-capable tools detected
  • All critical nodes validated
